Excessive Noise or Vibration Over Time

Excessive Noise or Vibration Over Time

Gradual Increase in Noise or Vibration

A gradual increase in noise or vibration during operation is often linked to maintenance or installation factors, rather than a sudden fault.

Possible Causes

Common causes include:

  • Loose fasteners or fixings

  • Insufficient lubrication

  • Wear of moving components

  • An uneven or unstable installation surface

If noise or vibration increases:

  • Stop the machine safely

  • Inspect visible fasteners and fixings

  • Check lubrication levels and points

  • Confirm the machine is installed on a stable, level surface

Do not continue operation until the cause has been addressed.

Why Early Action Matters

Addressing noise or vibration early helps prevent further wear, damage, or unplanned downtime.
